PolitiFact rates McAuliffe green car company claim "false"

It is PolitiFact Virginia's most exhaustive investigation yet. A more than 2,500 word breakdown of what kept the Democratic nominee for governor Terry McAuliffe from opening his green car company in Mississippi instead of Virginia.

The PolitiFact investigation builds on our initial report that revealed that McAuliffe's company never finished their application to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership.

PolitiFact obtained hundreds of correspondence between Green Tech and VEDP that outlines in specificity the process that led to Green Tech deciding to set up shop in Mississippi and not Virginia.

PolitiFact editor Warren Fiske, who contributed to Nancy Madsen's report joined me to discuss what they discovered.

Welcome to the Huckster's do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do World! Not only that but McAuliffe will be telling Virginia Entrepreneurs that they must have union jobs while McAuliffe took his plant not to the Rust Belt union states but to CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO WORK STATE- MISSISSIPPI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
